Optimized the random number generator in random.html by implementing a
hybrid sampling strategy. For high-density requests (>50% of range),
the generator now uses exclusion-based sampling paired with a
Fisher-Yates shuffle. This prevents the performance collapse associated
with the 'Coupon Collector's Problem' in the original rejection
sampling logic.

Measured impact: ~7.8x speedup (approx. 2119ms to 269ms) for 999,990
unique numbers in a 1,000,000 range.

+## 2025-05-14 - Optimization of Unique Random Selection (The Coupon Collector's Problem)
+**Learning:** Rejection sampling using a `Set` to ensure uniqueness suffers from a performance collapse as the requested count approaches the total range size. This is a manifestation of the 'Coupon Collector's Problem', where the probability of hitting a new unique value becomes extremely low, leading to millions of redundant iterations and browser hangs.
+**Action:** Implement a hybrid strategy: use rejection sampling for sparse requests (density < 50%) and exclusion-based sampling (randomly selecting values to *skip*) for dense requests. Always follow with a Fisher-Yates shuffle to maintain random output order if the sampling method generates values in a deterministic sequence.
